'However, William knew or did not know, realized or did not realize that Axella was a woman who had been used by other nobles, other words, women were not clean, even though she knew, she said, I don't think William would hate Axella.'
'William had taken her, due to her miserable state and her strong desire to protect Axella, let alone with Axella's beautiful and very innocent face, William fell in love with that beauty, she said, what I believe is that even though Axella is a commoner, a dirty lowly person, or a noble, I think William will still love her. He'll try to protect Axella from ridicule and any distractions.'
'And what I know most about myself is, I don't want to know what's going to happen, and I don't want to get involved with Axella, whatever concerns Axella I don't want to get involved.'
"Mrs Alaris."
Alaris' distant mind was restored by a familiar greeting.
"Aahhhhhhhhhh... Mr. Austin Harold." Alaris said surprised.
"Sorry I'm late, and congratulations on the success of the Imperial Diamond." Austin.
Austin's face looked dejected and with long, sharp eyes and healthy tan-colored skin, he moved his head with a dull expression, as if he found everything tiring. I don't know what has happened but Alaris is convinced that's what makes him late.
"And also, congratulations you've found your childhood friend, I saw the live broadcast, and I... I don't know what to say about Mr. William." Austin.
Alaris remained silent.
"I stopped my trip here and just sat in the car for a very long time, I watched the live broadcast, everything. Mr. Harry treated you so warmly, the story of the two of you touched my heart so much, and I then witnessed how Mr. William proposed to another woman who was not at all beautiful, it was a setback for him, even her beauty can't be compared to yours." Austin.
"That's William's decision." Alaris.
"And if you need help, I'll be the one to protect you." Austin said again.
"You must be disappointed, because the one who will protect his front is me." Suddenly out of nowhere Harry approached beside Alaris and smiled.
Harry's smile was wide but it was more of a warning.
"All decisions are in the hands of Mrs Alaris not you." Austin looked at Harry.
Now that Austin's eyes and Harry's eyes were staring at each other, no one would budge.
Emily who enjoyed her meal was flabbergasted, seeing the men in the race wanting to protect Alaris.
The atmosphere became very quiet and awkward, but Austin and Harry had not stopped staring at each other.
"aaah... Doctor Arthur, you've come." Said Alaris who wanted to melt the atmosphere.
"Congratulations on this great feast, the Imperial Diamond is indeed worthy of success." Said Arthur.
"Thank you Doctor Arthur."
"Congratulations Mr. Harry, you found him, did Mrs Alaris remember that you were her childhood friend, she thought I was her childhood friend. Even though I want to."
"Yes, that's your wish, you followed where your father went, even when he checked my health and Alaris's. Then you always come to the hospital and follow us from a distance because Alaris doesn't want to be friends with you, now you follow in your father's footsteps and become a doctor."
"I don't remember that." Alaris.
"Are you still having nightmares." Ask Arthur.
"Yes... How do you know?" Ask Alaris.
"Because from childhood you always had nightmares and Mr. Harry always accompanied you, right by your bedside." Said Arthur.
"Sister, why just shut up?" Ask Arthur.
"Sister?" Everyone was shocked except Harry who knew.
"Haha Haha... You must be surprised, me and Austin are brothers, my brother is very shy. Do I have to help you tell me that you have a fever lately?" Arthur said and patted Austin on the back.
"Don't be reckless." Austin.
A stilted expression mixed with embarrassment was seen on the face of Austin's flushed mature brown skin.
"You have a fever?" Ask Alaris.
"To be honest...." Said Arthur.
"We'll enjoy the party." Austin.
Arthur laughed out loud.
Harry knew why Austin had a fever, but Harry kept quiet, that Austin missed Alaris so much that he fell ill.
"I'm jealous, back when Hendric was alive, he and I were always joking like that." Said Harry.
Alaris could only look pityfully and sadly at Harry.

Inside The Kingham Mansion residence, Axella lay on her side and hugged her teddy bear as big as herself, her head resting on William's arm.
While William hugged Axella's body, occasionally the man stroked softly Axella's stomach that did not look big, then moved on Axella's hair and stroked her affectionately.
"Never listen to and believe in Harry's words, he's a savage man who knows no rules of manners, he's notoriously cruel as well he's like a sissy who can hurt women."
"I didn't know he was that kind of person." Axella.
"It's okay Axella, but next time never deal with her. Do you understand? Hm?" William said softly.
"But it's not my fault..." Axella.
"Of course, it was Harry who made her look guilty, because she always thought she was the truth."
Axella turned and hugged William.
"But I'm glad you proposed to me in front of everyone."
"I'm also happy, I hope you'll always be happy and happy, don't think of anything that makes you sad." William says.
"Then Leon's problem I don't want you to get too close to him either."
Axella smiled remembering Leon's words back, that William was jealous.
"Me and Mr. Leon are just good friends, so you don't have to worry about it."
"Even so I still don't calm down if you're nearby."
"Well I'll obey you." Said Axella lying her head on William's chest with a smile.
"Moreover, Alaris's birthday is soon, and there will be a small party with a small invitation because it's a private party, I hope you stay in the south mansion."
"Can't I be one of them? I also wanted to congratulate him and give him a gift." Axella.
"Alaris and I made that invitation and just spread it out."
"Please add 1 more seat for me William. Please, it's a special day of hers she should have received a lot of prayers, just added 1 more seat for me." Axella.
William was silent.
"I'm your future wife, and will be the owner of this mansion too right? So I don't need an invitation, I just have to come, don't you think?" Ask Axella.
"Although that's the case, there's something you should know Axella's limits to." William sighed and rubbed Axella's shoulders.
But Axella, she kept crying, waiting for William to change his words. However, no matter how long he waited, it did not happen. William remained silent.
"So, in the end I still can't go!"
"I'm sorry, Axella. No cry. I'll ask Alaris."
William wiped away the tears on Axella's cheeks and then they hugged each other.
